Day 29

"Did legs and cardio today.

130g of protein. Little low."

I'm trying to catch up on my exercise goals for the week. It's super warm in my apartment. We're having a heat wave and it's a challenge to work out. 

Managed to complete Killer Body Lower Body, and do half of one of the Zumba Country Heat workout. 

It's been a while since I did pure cardio. So much easier than Jillian Michaels. I think I need to start doubling up some days to jumpstart my loss again.

Ran a bunch of errands in the morning so had to get a smoothie out for breakfast because I forgot to eat breakfast. Not too much of a calorie bomb, but not high protein.

The only reason I even got that much protein was because I ate back my exercise calories, but I want to try not to do that unless it's to drink a protein shake. 

My goal is to do arms and cardio tomorrow, and legs and abs on Friday. Then, if I just do arms on Saturday, I'll have exceeded my exercise goals for the week. Wish me luck!

Day 27

"Did half my exercise routine this morning. It was rough going back to our after three days off. 140 grams of protein. 130 calories over count."

Skipped the workout two days last week and then still took my rest day. I had trouble pushing myself to complete the workout. But Jillian Michaels Killer Body is treating me well. I like that all the modifications (beginner, intermediate, advanced) are in one video so I can mix and match per circuit based on my ability. I want to write a review for this at some point once I've gotten farther into my program.

Day 26

"Day 26! Another weekend over! Did everyone survive?"

"Behaved myself at the barbecue I went to and I'm having one cider. Haven't checked my protein intake yet but I'm sure it's pretty abysmal. Back to exercise tomorrow."

Day 24

"Day 24! TGIF! Anyone celebrating Friday? What are your plans to stay on track for the weekend, or are you taking a cheat day?"

"Had sushi for lunch. Gotta be good the rest of the day. But yum."

"Only got 50 grams of protein, skipped the exercise, and was 150 over my calorie goal. Could have been worse? Spent the day with my boyfriend, had fun, and was really productive."

Day 23

"Doing good so far today. Didn't midnight snack! Having some coffee, then exercising, cleaning, and working!

"Did well! 161g protein. 33 calories over counter goal. Half hour of abs. Woowoot!"

Day 21

"Day 21! End of Week 3! 9 more to go! Check in?"

"Weighed in at the supplement shop today. I'm down 2.6% body fat in three weeks. My weight has stayed the same, but I'm down 5 lbs body fat. I'm proud of myself. I did all six of my exercises last week, two ab workouts, two lower body, and two upper body. I didn't do any legit cardio days, but Killer Body has cardio intervals in each workout. They make my heartrate go crazy, though, so I phone them in a little bit. I am not in shape, yet.

I've only been wearing my fitbit during my workouts to track my exercise calorie burn. I burn between 200 and 300 calories per 30 minute workout.

I hit my calorie goal everyday last week, with one cheat day on my rest day on Sunday (went way over). I only averaged 108 grams of protein per day (my goal is 185). My average daily calorie intake for the week was 1,606. That's two really good weeks in a row! Woot!"

Day 18

"It's gotten awfully quiet in here! Day 18! Let's have a strong weekend. Come on, regulars!

Doesn't matter if you fell off the wagon or had a few bad days. It's always time to start making healthy decisions!"

The group got kind of quiet so I challenged people to get back to it, and it worked!

"Met my calorie goal, worked arms, and got 114 grams of protein."

Day 17

"I'm so sore today. My workout soreness usually has a two day delay so I'm still feeling my legs today and my arms just started in. It's leg day, so we'll see how this goes..."

"Hit the workout harder than last time so burned more calories.

Getting better at doing the moves. Made an apple spinach smoothie today with pumpkin seeds, ginger, cinnamon and unflavored protein powder! Yum!"

"Had a good day. Indulged in sushi and was under calorie count but only got 100 grams of protein. Oh well." 

Day 16

" Got up for once and did my workout before work.

Ab day. Goals for the day, calorie and protein goals, aims not drink way too much water!"

"Oy. It's only 1:30 and I've already met my hydration goal for the day...."

"Met my protein goal for one. 190 grams. But had 150 ounces of liquid. Way over."

I drink way too much water.......... 

Day 15

"Got 36 grams of protein in breakfast.  Woot! Good start to day.  Woke up late so didn't exercise before work, so will have to do it after..."

"Only got a hundred grams of protein today.  Ate a lot of bulky food (veggies and fruit) around dinner time, so, even though I had calories left, I was over full and just didn't want to eat anymore.  Did a half hour of arms."

Day 14

Day 14! Two week check in!

"I'm down 1 pound this week.  Did pretty well with my calorie and protein goal.  Weighed in at the supplement shop and I'm down .4% body fat. Exercised yesterday and didn't die and planning on exercising after work. This blender I got its revolutionizing my breakfast routine."

"Only a hundred grams of protein today,  but met my calorie goal and worked legs."

Day 13

"Already did my exercise for the day,  30 minutes of abs. Wanna get my calorie and water goal for rest of day."

"Hit my calorie goal and got 161 grams of protein.

Did some research and I think I drink too much water.  Gonna try to cut back tomorrow."

The recommended water intake for women is about 84 ounces.  I drink more like 140 to 160. I think I need to cut back...
